I’m originally from deep-red Indiana, so I’d say that the furthest away from home I’ve been was when I voted for Elizabeth Warren in the primaries. It was a GREAT trip & one that I’d like to take again.

Two mass shootings in California, days apart. This time in Half Moon Bay. The heartbreak for the victims and their families is unimaginable. This grief is preventable. We don’t have to endure constant gun tragedies. We can act. If Republicans in Congress showed some courage.

More grief and suffering from California, with 7 people felled in the Half Moon Bay massacre. What kind of country are we going to be? This is a national emergency and Congress must act this week.

We interrupt the news about the Monterey Park mass shooting to cover the Half Moon Bay mass shooting. Because we have lost our fucking minds. The Second Amendment, like slavery and subjugation of women, was one of our founders’ worst 18th century ideas. Repeal it.

Funny how people can go to lax gun law state Nevada and bring guns into California. You see this same situation in Chicago with states like Indiana and Wisconsin. Almost like the only gun laws that would truly work across the board are federal gun laws.

Well, I see that #vegans is trending again… I have a question: do #vegans annoy you? Maybe…make you a little bit angry? Have you felt this way even when a particular vegan HASN’T actively forced her/his/their choices onto YOU? Cool. Here’s why:

One of my best friends, Josh, called me: he was celebrating at this ballroom, with his wife (who’s Chinese), ONE HOUR before the shooting. What if the 10 had left earlier? Or Josh had stayed? How close we all are to potentially losing everything… AND FUCK GUNS. #MontereyPark

My dad and his girl go to this specific ballroom once a week to gather with friends. Thank God they weren’t there last night

This one hits home hard. Fuck guns. Another day, another shooting. Happy New Year #MontereyPark

Spent time in Monterey Park today meeting with leaders and those impacted by this terrible tragedy. The strength of this community is incredible. No other country in the world is terrorized by this constant stream of gun violence. We need real gun reform at a national level.

Here’s my first effort at capturing the “Green Comet”, Comet c/2022 E3 (ZTF). This was a particular challenge due to humid conditions and clouds, but I’m thrilled I was able to capture it at all!

Well…I was wrong about the shooter and his motive. Let this be a lesson to me not to make assumptions… There’s only one assumption I can think of that will always be safe to make—something that’ll be true in 100% of all mass shootings: a gun was used.

NEW: According to law enforcement, the Monterey Park mass shooter is a "male Asian." Witnesses and community members - including Chester Chong, leader of the local Chamber of Commerce - are saying the shooting was instigated by intimate partner violence.

I’d like Jillian Peterson’s & James Densley’s (The Violence Project) take on the Monterey Park shooting. Can’t shake their garbage attempt at nuance last year when they argued hate ISN’T at the root of most mass shootings. Pls also note: GUNS cause 100% of mass shooting deaths.

A gunman has murdered ten people and injured over a dozen others in Monterey Park, where tens of thousands of Asian American families had gathered to celebrate the Lunar New Year that day. He is still at large. This should be getting way more coverage in media. A terrible act.

for making a decision which I imagine’s been fraught w/harsh, internal backlash. Thank you for going against the grain. The gap between what you want something to be & how it is can be a crevice…or an abyss.

Los Angeles Police Department now prohibits the “Thin Blue Line” flag from being displayed at police stations, on officers’ uniforms, or on city vehicles. LAPD Chief: “Extremist groups have hijacked the use of the flag to symbolize their undemocratic, racist, and bigoted views.”

To think I once believed that Great Britain was less racist & bigoted and more enlightened than the US! Now, I’m like, “At least they have socialized medicine! And, uh…socialized medicine. Oh and hey, how ‘bout all that, um…socialized…medicine…” #MeghanMarkIe #GoodKingHarry

Andrew is credibly accused of statutory rape. Philip regularly made grossly racist comments. Charles cheated on Diana, broke her spirit. But sure, Harry “disgraces the family” by loving & protecting his wife, you vile racist pricks.

I’m sorry to those of you who may not want to see this vid on your timeline, but honestly—I hope you get over it 🤷🏻‍♀️. Society’s successfully taught many of you that anything related to female sexuality or pleasure is distasteful. Not classy. “Porn.” It’s actually important info…

YES! I’m actually shocked more folks haven’t been talking-up Ranked Choice Voting. So many of y’all (rightfully) hate the GOP…but haven’t been thrilled w/a fair share of our Dem leadership, either. RCV could boost more non-establishment, independent, & Progressive candidates.
